People gathered in worship

Our Story

From a small living room gathering to a thriving community of faith.

Founding pastor with community

Grace Community Church was founded in 2001 by Pastor James & Linda Whitfield in a small living room with just 12 people. Over two decades, God has grown that seed into a congregation of over 1,200 members, with campuses serving Austin, Cedar Park, and Pflugerville. We started with one simple conviction: that the local church, when it is healthy and Spirit-led, is the greatest force for good in any community. That conviction hasn't changed.

We are an evangelical, non-denominational church rooted in the historic Christian faith. We believe in the inspiration and authority of Scripture, salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, the reality of the Holy Spirit's work today, and the hope of the resurrection. We are committed to racial reconciliation, creation care, and the full inclusion of people from all walks of life.
